THE THE4TRE', itrtsTO THEATBF A very numeroui 'audience attended the repre ientation of the adibirable 'tragedy of Macbeth lait night at the King's Theatre. KEMBLE'S perform ance of Macbeth was chaste, judicious, arid im pressive, and he husbanded his pOwers so well that be displayed unabated energy till the end of the Play. We observed that he has relinquiShed some of those interpretations of the text which, though they manifest critical acumen, were likely to set the mind upon reflexion and comparison when the feel ings ought rather to be occupied by the spirit of the passing scene. Mrs. SIDDONS had all her usual energy in the part of . Lady Macbeth, and must have given satisfaCtion to the 'most cold and rigid critic. CHARLES KEMBLE'S .Macdrifit . is now one of his very best efforts. BRUNTON me tited a better part than Ross, but he acquitted himself so well in it as to aid the general elle& of the piece. The audience is the gallery suffered a noisy blockhead to excite a turbulence which inter rupted Mrs. SIDDONS in her first speech, but the Play afterwards proceeded without disturbance; and the audience. were amply paid for the horrors of the Tragedy in the -extravagant drolleries of LISTON, MUNDEN, and BLANCHARD, in the Farce of The Por trait of Cervantes, which excited great merriment throughout. ThoThgh the Tragedy Wanted that magnifiCence of ornament and costume WhiCh attended the represen tation at' the detboliShed Theatre, yet, considering all things, the performance appeared to tolerable ad vantage, and was so well' supported in the atling as to compensate for deficiency in other respeals. , As a proof of the excellent constru6tion of t,his• Theatre in point of hearin g , an d 'th at ' t h e f a i ntest tones reach the organ, there is no call on the Per formers to speak louder o n any -occasion. •We must again express-our regret at the blank spaces which appear in the theatre, after so great a calamity has befallen the 'Patentees—a calamity that 'excites sympathy in every liberal mind. Surely the proprietors of the private boxes, should " assume a virtue if they have it not," and when they do not wish to visit the theatre themselves, or to gratify any of their friends, they - should generously let them be opened for the advantage of those who have suffered so severely, and who have still to struggle under so many difficulties, with so distant'a prospect of com pensation for their heavy losses.

His Aoyal Majesty has received the following Re= port - from Rear-Admiral NiiifcmlopF, of the 6th instant : 4 ' On the 3 iit of August arrived Major Tio with the Frigate Camilla, from a cruize between Revel and Sweaborg, brinaing with him the Russian Brig lfzetrin, commanded by Capt. VAmicHtkokt7, which he captured; and which Sailed frOrn Revel on the 21st of August, bound for the Gulf of Finland, The colours and pendant hoisted on board the said Brig I have the honour Ea lay at your NlAjefty's feet. ." From want of other vessels, Admiral SAlnsiA- Rsz has caused the above-mentioned Brig to be fitted for a Fire-ship, together with a Sloop of War and a .Cutter, which are now ready. ." On the 3d inst. Admiral SAumAttgz, according to a plan settled between us, sent a flag of truce to the Russian Admiral, with a letter, by which he called upon him to take into his most serious consi= deration the difficulties of his situation, and not to sacrifice human, blood without the least chance `of success, but to accept the proposal, which he made in concert with me, that if, he would, deliver up to the combined Swedish "and British Squadron half of his Fleet, he should be allowed to withdraW with the rest to Cronstadt, without the least interruption. _ _ " Captain MARTIN, who was the bearer of the above letter, was met by a §loop with Col. Moi.LEs, who was sent by the Russian'Admitil to learn what the English Admiral might have to propose, and to make him acquainted with the Russian Admiral's sentiments on the subject. Colonel MOLLES arrived on board the Vitiory the 4th instant, at seven o'clock in the morning, heard the above proposal, and de - - clared, that the Russian Admiral would rather burn his ships than accede to such a proposal ;' but he thought himself authorised to say, that if the Russian fleet were permitted to return to Cronstadt unmo lested, his Imperial Majesty would agree to its being dismantled, and' not armed again during the present war. He suppoted, however, that the Russian Ad miral would express himself more fully on th:s sub jetrit in his answer to the above letter, which he must have received by this time. But as this answer did not arrive, the English Admiral gave notice to the Russian Admiral by a flag of Truce dispatched this evening, that he should resume ' • "The same day arrived thefrigates Eurydice and Bellona, with three Russian ships, laden with timber and tar, which they Captured off Revel. One of these ships is now unloading, to be . fitted for a Fire-:, ship ; the timber is used for fire-'Wood on board yoUr Majesty's Fleet; half of the 'tar is empleyed for • the use of your Majesty's ships, and the rest for fitting out the ;ire-strips.

Admiral.SAusrAitEz ordered his bomb-ketches to throw bonibs into the batteries and town of Baltic Port ; one of which felt into a magazine of gunpowder, which blew to with a dreadful explosion, and seemed to detroy one of the batteries.
